Key Issues



10 Oct 2012

1) Significant Activities • 100% measurement availability when ISS resources allow SAMS and MAMS equipment to be powered• On-orbit SAMS File Repair procedure performed by the crew to recover after an extended power

outage. • On-going support of ISS Loads and Dynamics team for daily monitoring of structural mode regime. • Statistical analysis of acceleration data toward peer-reviewed publication of SAMS/MAMS analysis

results for first year of ISS assembly complete.• SAMS TSH-ES sensor SN 08 is completed, EMI testing completed, scheduled for vibe testing.• SAMS TSH-ES sensor SN 03 updated; EMI testing completed.• SAMS cable lost in Progress 44P failure completed (longer than original).• SAMS ICU Upgrade to the ISS Laptop approved by VCB and the SSPCB (out-of-board approval)

• “The SAMS Upgrade CR 13240 has received all evaluations and they were all concur or concur with comments. The upgrade will use the current laptop (T61p) instead of the obsolete 760XD and be aisle mounted instead of in an ISIS drawer in an Express Rack. The SSPCB selected this implementation option and the cost is $260K for the SAMS Team to perform the work in approximately 9 months.” Kathy Koerner

2) Technical Issues/Schedule Issues • None

3) Planned Activities for next quarter • Complete all hardware testing and verifications for turn-over to MSG for manifest on ATV-4• CR for SAMS TSH-ES spares (w/ wireless capability)• Begin the SAMS ICU Upgrade software

Project Manager’s Top Concerns

o Increasing CIR (and FIR) data management efficiency (ACME needed for sure)

o Maintaining trained and certified CIR and FIR Operations Team

o Keep TSC operational and properly maintained with minimal staffing (CoNNeCT operations may impact need for more staffing)

o Delays and gaps in FIR operations

o Completing the Long-Term Life study (2028) for CIR and FIR

o MDCA and LMM lack of sparing for long-term operations (FCF Sustaining Engineering inheriting the risk)

o Failures of DCM and similar designed, ICM. No Spare ICM on-orbit.

o Long-term upgrades to the CIR and FIR (Cameras, IPSUs, LMM, Software, etc)

o ISS Program requests for data and various information with multiple processes.

CONSEQUENCES

Risk ID Risk Title Risk Statement L C Approach

F1

TechnicalCorban10/04/2011

FCFSE:DCM LCTF failure

Given the DCM LCTF fails on the CIR flight rack; then there is an inability to accomplish full FLEX2 science.

4 3 Mitigate: Manifest DCM LCTF S/N2001 on the next DO period of performance. Add procurement and assembly of a second spare LCTF DCM to the DO period of performance. Status: Plans to add procurement and assembly of a second spare to the DOClose Date: 07/31/2012

F2

Technical Corban 10/18/2010

FCFSE: Unknown cause DCM failure

Given that the LCTF DCM had a communication failure on the CIR aboard ISS without a known cause; there is a risk of subsequent DCM failures on remaining DCMs will occur.

3 3 Mitigate: The flight spare on the ground is in the process of being certified for flight.This unit will need to be manifested as a flight spare to mitigate this risk. Status: There is currently additional troubleshooting going on as additional issues have arisen and need to be better understood to resolve. . Close Date : 02/29/2012

F3

Technical Corban10/04/2011

FCFSE:LMM GIU does not fully emulate the flight unit

Given that the LMM GIU does not fully emulate the flight unit;; the possibility exists that future LMM flight experiments will not operate correctly.

3 3 Mitigate: Plan is to review LMM GIU non-flight design issues and add task to update LMM GIU to the next DO period of performance. Status: Task has been added t the DO to upgrade to LMM GIU. Close Date: 07/02/2012

F4

Technical Corban 02/10/2010

FCFSE:Lack of critical spares aboard ISS

Given that there is a lack of critical spares aboard the ISS; then there is the possibility that a lack of meeting all science requirements will occur.

2 3 Mitigate: A priority list for flight critical spares has been established. ZIN has shipped and manifested flight White Light EPCU IOP FSAP. Additional flight h/w for ULF5 include: IPSU-A FCU Q-Imaging camera and IPSU (Remora). ZIN is in the process of verifying additional spare hardware(FIR &CIR velocity probe White Light lamps IPSU-A FCU and an IAM. Status: Working to add next set of spares to DO; will include spare fiber-optic cable to backfill for suspect cable on-orbitClose Date: 04/06/2012

F5

Technical Corban02/10/2010

FCFSE:IOP removable hard drive shelf life

Given that the IOP removable hard drives have a limited shelf life; then there is the possibility that these hard drives won't work over time and the FIR and CIR racks will not be able to provide support for their payloads to perform science operations will occur.

2 3 Watch: Awaiting to see if funding issues will be resolved. Status: Funding for new design functional model IOP hard drives in the current DO. Close Date: 12/31/2012
